  1. Seanf,I had a 22 pound grasscarp a few years back, on a small black popper,in the Vermilion River. I've also had quite a few in the 5 to ten pound range using a #2 or#3 silver mepps aglia spinner. They also seem to like tinsel flies tied like a clouser. They hit hard and fight like a pike. Lots of fun on spinning or fly equipment.I've been looking for small pods of them and sight fishing them on hot afternoons. John G.
  2. John, this is a pattern that really looks like a fish couldn't pass up. I'll have to give it a try. Does this fuzzy foam give it a slow sink, or does it drop pretty fast through the water column?
  3. What if the cement mill is sold again? Will we need a new deal? Maybe some further letters to Rep. Mautino are in order. It seems like the bill would be a better solution, though it may bring some concerns of landowners forward.Concerns such as visible high water mark and what is considered trespass will surely need to be dealt with.
  4. The Starved Rock area has them visit each year at this time. John
  5. Gordon, thanks for the greetings.Looking at your gallery. You catch some nice smallies.

  6. That's a funky looking fly. It looks like it should move alot of water and attract some attention. It could be a good one.
